    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    Field of the invention
    The present invention relates to a device for undressing a container such as a bottle.
    It also relates to a method for obtaining a circular brush adapted to the implementation of this device for undressing a container.
    Technological background
    It is known in the wine industry to have to undress labeled bottles to affix new labels. The removal of one or more labels on a bottle can thus result from erroneous information contained therein. As a purely illustrative example, we can observe on such labels, errors on the vintage or the label AOC, which result from false data contained in the good to shoot.
    The need to undress a bottle may still result from the presence of personalized labels on it, for example labels bearing text in a language distinct from that of the actual marketing area.
    The undressing of these bottles is usually done manually by means of a scraper and by the prior application of a solvent, or by soaking.
    When this undressing is done manually, this task is particularly tedious for the operator, long and therefore expensive.
    The undressing of these bottles can also present a source of risk for the health of the operator because it is in regular contact with solvents.
    There is therefore a pressing need for a device whose original design allows to undress bottles quickly and reliably.
    Object of the invention
    The present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a device for the undressing of bottles, simple in its design and in its operating mode, reliable and fast, meeting the disadvantages mentioned above.
    Another object of the present invention is a particularly original and economical method of manufacturing a circular brush for the implementation of this device for undressing bottles.
    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION To this end, the invention relates to a device for removing a coating, a decorative element or a label stuck on at least a portion of a container, such as a bottle, said coating, said decorative element. or said label thus placed on said at least a portion being non-planar.
    According to the invention, this device comprises: - a circular brush comprising a multiplicity of metal or plastic bristles for brushing the surface of the container, said brush having a brush width d - the free ends of said bristles delimiting a surface relief in the direction of the width of said brush, identical or substantially identical over the entire circumference of said circular brush, the surface relief being the imprint or substantially the imprint of a portion of said container, said portion comprising said at least a portion of said container on which said coating, said decorative element or said adhesive label is placed, and - a control unit for transmitting a relative movement between said brush and said container.
    The free ends of these bristles are, consequently, directed towards the outside of the circular brush.
    The identical or substantially identical relief around the entire circumference of the circular brush thus defines an annular relief. For example, this annular relief may define an annular housing in which a portion of the container is intended to be received for the purpose of brushing the outer surface of this portion.
    If the label is adhered to the outer surface of the container, the coating or decorative element placed on at least a portion of the container, is not necessarily glued but may adhere by any other means to said at least a portion. For purely illustrative purposes, this coating may be a paint or wax deposit.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
    First, we note that the figures are not scaled.
    Figures 1 to 3 show a device 10 for removing a label stuck on the main body of a bottle 11 according to a particular embodiment of the present invention.
    This device comprises a plate 12 on which is mounted a rectilinear guide rail 13. A carriage 14 is movable in translation along this guide rail 13 between a loading position of this bottle and a working position in which a portion of the bottle 11, here the cylindrical body of this bottle, is placed at the right a circular brush.
    This carriage 14 comprises a platform defining a housing for receiving the bottle 11 in an elongated manner. The displacement of this carriage 14 is here carried out manually by the operator but could of course be automated. As a purely illustrative example, this carriage 14 could be driven in displacement by a motorized actuator during the detection of the laying of a new bottle on its platform.
    This circular brush comprises a multiplicity of metal bristles, here made of stainless steel, for dry brushing a portion of the surface of the bottle 11 for the removal of this glued label. This circular brush has a brush width d.
    The bristles of this circular brush have different longitudinal dimensions between those placed in a central portion of the brush width and those at the ends of this brush width so as to define a central housing.
    More specifically, a portion of the bristles of this brush 15 have their free end defining a groove in the brush width, which is all around the circular brush. This annular groove being the imprint of a portion of the cylindrical main body of the bottle, here a face of this bottle, it has a straight cross section, so the direction of the brush width, which is semicircular.
    An endless screw 16 makes it possible to adjust the position of the circular brush 15 with respect to the main body of the bottle 11 so that the bottle 11 is partially received in the groove.
    A control unit 17 having an electric motor here rotates this circular brush with respect to the body of the bottle 11 to dry brush its outer surface.
    The debris generated by the brush 15 during the dry brushing of the surface of the container is recovered in a collection unit 18, here a canvas bag, permeable to air to avoid undesirable swelling of this collection unit.
    As shown in Figure 3, this device also includes a cleaning station 19 comprising a cleaning article to remove any adhesive residues on the surface of the bottle after removal of the label by brushing. By way of example, this cleaning article may be a cloth impregnated with a dissolving liquid to remove glue residues. Alternatively, it may still be a sponge impregnated with this dissolving liquid.
    This dissolving liquid is chosen for example from the group comprising acetone, white spirit, CS49 or a biodegradable and non-toxic solvent liquid. The cleaning article is preferably placed on the peripheral surface of a tubular or cylindrical drive member which has a contact surface width d. This training element of the cleaning article can be motorized to ensure its rotation at a predefined rotational speed. The cleaning article is received on the peripheral surface of the driving element by presenting a surface relief in the direction of its width, identical or substantially identical over the entire periphery of this driving element, the relief surface being the imprint or substantially the imprint of the portion of the bottle to be cleaned. For example, this cleaning article being a sponge, the latter is previously cut in its thickness to define the footprint, or substantially the footprint, of the container portion to be cleaned.
    Here, this cleaning article thus comprises an annular groove of semi-circular, or substantially semicircular, cross section, so as to define a housing for receiving the portion of the bottle which has been undressed, for cleaning, c that is, the removal of glue residue after brushing the label.
    Figure 4 schematically shows a machine for undressing and labeling bottles 11 according to a particular embodiment of the present invention.
    In addition to this device 10 for removing a label stuck on a bottle 11 as described above, this machine comprises successively a cleaning station 19 comprising a cleaning article to remove any adhesive residues present on the surface of the bottle after removal of the label.
    This machine also comprises a device 20 for affixing labels on the bottles 11 thus treated and a device 21 for transporting these bottles to ensure their movement between the various positions of this machine.
    Advantageously, it is thus possible on a single machine to undress the container and affix a new label.
